    Comments regarding this information collection received by 
September 20, 2017 will be considered. Written comments should be 
addressed to: Desk Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), New 
Executive Office Building, 725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20503. 
Commentors are encouraged to submit their comments to OMB via email to: 
OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov or fax (202) 395-5806 and to Departmental

    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

National Appeals Division

    Title: National Appeals Division Customer Service Survey.
    OMB Control Number: 0503-0007.
    Summary of Collection: The Secretary of Agriculture established the 
National Appeals Division (NAD) on October 20, 1994, by Secretary's 
Memorandum 1010-1, pursuant to the Federal Crop Insurance Reform and 
Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-354, 
Section 271, dated October 13, 1994)/. The Act consolidated the 
appellate functions and staff of several USDA agencies. The

[[Page 39557]]

intent is to provide for independent hearing and review determinations 
that resulted from Agency adverse decisions. Hearing Officers conduct 
evidentiary hearings on adverse decisions or, when the appellant 
requests they review the Agency's record of the adverse decision 
without a hearing. Although NAD maintains a database to track appeal 
requests, the database contains only information necessary to process 
the appeal request, such as the name, address, filing data, and final 
results of the appeal. NAD will collect information using a survey.
    Need and Use of the Information: NAD wants to gather current data 
to measure the appellant's perception of the quality of how easy the 
determination was to read; how intently the Hearing Officer listened to 
the appellant; and if the appellant would be willing to have the same 
Hearing Officer hear a future appeal. NAD will also use the information 
gathered from its surveys to tailor and prioritize training.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 1,600.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 272.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
